The Clips pane shows the clips in your project on a horizontal timeline
that helps you visualize how your project is organized. Clips contain
markings that indicate their contents. The Clips pane lets you select,
move, cut and copy clips from place to place to change the arrangement
of music and sound in your project.
The Track view makes it easy to select tracks, clips, and ranges of time
in a project. These are the most common selection methods:
To...
Select tracks
Select clips
Select time ranges
Select partial clips
As with most other Windows programs, you can also use the Shift-click
and Ctrl-click combinations when selecting tracks and clips. Holding the
Shift key while you click adds tracks or clips to the current selection.
Holding the Ctrl key while you click lets you toggle the selection status
of tracks or clips.
The Console View
The Console view is the place where you mix the sounds on all the
different tracks to create the Þnal mix of your project. You use the
Console view to adjust the levels of sound for the different tracks in your
project, to change the stereo panning, and to apply real-time effects to an
individual track, combinations of tracks, or the Þnal mix.
The mixing console contains several groups of controls. There is one
module for each track in your project, and one module for each output
device. You can use auxiliary sends (or aux sends) to direct certain
tracks to special modules that are known as submixes.
